Abstract:
This is a prospective and analytical study, aimed to
determine the frequency of ABO Rh (C,c,D,E,e) and Kell
antigen and phenotypes, among Albderia Sudanese tribe.
Also aimed at establish ABO, Rh (C,c,D,E,e) and Kell blood
group
baseline data
for
this Sudan anise tribe to
determine the interaction between this tribe and other
Sudanese tribes which will be useful in blood transfusion.
The study was conducted in marwee locality during three
months (January to march 2010), following informed
consent, a total of hundred venous blood samples were
collected 2.5 ml into Blain containers from unrelated
individual. All samples were tested for ABO Rh (C,c,D,E,e)
and Kell antigens using the slide agglutination techniques.
The result obtained showed that, The O group was most
common frequently occurred (51%), followed by group B
(32%), group A was found (16%) and the least common
was group AB (3%).
The Rh (D) antigen was most common frequently occurred
(97%), followed by e antigen (91%), followed by c antigen
(79%), antigen C was found (66%), and the least common
was antigen E (18%).
K2 was (100%) and K1 was (4%).
There was marked similarities between the Sudanese
tribes that lived in the same geographical area like
Alshigeia tribes , this could be due to intermarriage,
while the difference that seen in some tribes could be
most probably due to the wandering nature of these tribes. This study showed high frequency of B antigen
,in these tribes in comparison with other Sudanese
.group A is slightly low
